Kramnik-Topalov, the Schedule is Up
You can read more details here, but this, in brief, is what it looks like:

September 21 - Opening Ceremony

September 23 - Game 1
September 24 - Game 2

September 26 - Game 3
September 27 - Game 4

September 29 - Game 5
September 30 - Game 6

October 2 - Game 7
October 3 - Game 8

October 5 - Game 9
October 6 - Game 10

October 8 - Game 11

October 10 - Game 12

October 12 - Tiebreaks

October 13 - Kramnik is awarded the championship trophy. (Er, if he wins. And even if he doesn't, at least the stupid 13-year schism will be at an end, and we can return to the good old days of a single disfunctional organization rather than two.)

Leaving the editorials, humor and partisanship behind to return to reporting, play begins each day at 3 p.m., presumably local (i.e. Elista) time = (I think) 11 a.m. GMT = 5 a.m. ET. (Too bad for fans in North America, but it will always a lousy time for someone somewhere!)
